Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals
Manufacturer: CRC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0849319641 |
Book Description
Most, if not all, books on allelopathy cover the ecological, agronomic, and descriptive physiological aspects. And although the amount of papers published on the chemical aspects and mode of action of these compounds continues to rise, there has been, until now, no book available that reflects the latest literature. Written by experts, Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals is the first book to focus on the chemical phenomena of allelopathy. The book discusses the chemicals responsible for the allelopathic phenomena and, closely connected with them, the modes of action of these compounds in the plant. Each chapter is dedicated to a single class of compounds and contains either a methods section describing how to perform the bioassays or references to the appropriate literature. The methods covered include first-line technologies such as proteomic techniques applied to allelopathic studies. Where other books on this subject highlight the "fuzzier" aspects, this one covers the hard science. It explores the latest developments in the field, discusses structure-activity relationships and SAR studies, and provides a foundation for the development of new natural herbicides. Designed as a practical, bench-friendly book, Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals is a convenient, easy-to-use resource that puts the latest information within easy reach.

State of the Art of Hepatology: Molecular and Cell Biology (Falk Symposium)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0792387953 |
Book Description
This book is the proceedings of the Falk Symposium No. 138 on "State of the Art of Hepatology: Molecular and Cell Biology" (part of the XII International Falk Liver Week 2003 in honour of Hans Popper’s 100th birthday, held on October 20--11, 2003), and reflects the tremendous advances in the science of hepatology both at the molecular as well as the cellular level.
The book comprises four major sections. In Section I, the basic aspects of liver cell biology are covered, including RNA metabolism, regeneration, transport and metabolic functions, as well as fibrogenesis and malignant transformation. In Section II, the novel field of stem cell plasticity and cell therapy for liver diseases is discussed in detail, including stem cell biology, hepatocyte transdifferentiation from extrahepatic stem cells and their therapeutic use for liver cell repopulation, as well as hepatocyte transplantation. In Section III, novel therapeutic strategies for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are presented, including the reversal of liver fibrosis, oncolytic biotherapy and different concepts of gene therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. In Section IV, novel aspects of gene therapy and prevention of liver diseases are addressed, including small interfering RNAs, ribozymes, antisense oligonucleotides, as well as DNA vaccination.
An international faculty of outstanding scientists from different research areas presents the state of the art on these most important aspects of hepatology and their perspectives for future developments. Molecular and cell biology are at the very centre of research developments in modern hepatology and are of interest and importance to both basic scientists as well as clinicians involved in patient care.

Fluid-Interaction and Cavitation Effects on a Surface Ship Model Due to an Underwater Explosion
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423573528 |
Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A038023. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: A surface ship subjected to an underwater explosion is exposed to shock waves over a short period of time which can vary in magnitude based on charge type, size, and location. The energy of those waves impinging upon the hull is transmitted throughout the ship's structure and vital equipment. The dynamics of the shock waves also influence the fluid surrounding the outer hull of the ship, creating an area of cavitating fluid. The combination of the shock waves, bubble pulsations, and cavitating fluid induce shipwide vibrations on hull supports and mission essential equipment which may become inoperative. In view of congressional requirements for new ship designs and systems to be shock tested, this thesis investigates the modeling of a preliminary design (Flight I) of the Arleigh Burke Destroyer (DDG 51) exposed to an underwater explosion. The effects of cavitation on one and two dimensional models is explored to determine if cavitation effects are substantially important to a three dimensional ship model. Validation of modeling underwater explosion effects upon a ship model can provide potential insight and savings in cost for future live fire testing and evaluation of the Flight IIA (DDG 79) design of the Arleigh Burke Destroyer.

Kinetics of Metal-Gas Interactions at Low Temperatures: Hydriding, Oxidation, Poisoning (Springer Series in Surface Sciences)
Eckehard Fromm Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540639756 |
Book Description
Kinetics of Metal-Gas Interactions at Low Temperatures is devoted to the formation of a natural oxide film. This few nm thick surface layer is produced instantaneously if oxygen or water vapor is present in the gas atmosphere. It is responsible for the corrosion behavior, for wear and friction of metallic materials, as well as for hydrogen embrittlement or poisoning of catalytic surface reactions. Oxidation impedes experiments in surface sciences and production processes in modern thin-film technology. It can reliably be avoided only if expensive ultra-high vacuum techniques are applied. This monograph presents an introduction to the subject in a tutorial style. It demonstrates how complex metal-gas interactions can be analyzed by standard procedures of chemical kinetics.

Book Description
Metal-ligand interactions are currently being studied in different fields, from a variety of points of view, and recent progress has been substantial. Whole new classes of compounds and reactions have been found; an arsenal of physical methods has been developed; mechanistic detail can be ascertained to an increasingly minute degree; and the theory is being developed to handle systems of ever-growing complexity. As usual, such multidisciplinarity leads to great opportunities, coupled with great problems of communication between specialists.

ASIN: 0817641246 |
Book Description
In recent years noncommutative geometry has been a rich topic of research with discoveries leading to an increasing number of applications in mathematics and theoretical physics. Very little has appeared in book form since Alain Connes' work in the early 90s to deal with this subject. "Elements of Noncommutative Geometry" fills an important gap in the literature. Key features of the work include: * unified and comprehensive presentation of core topics and key research results drawing from several branches of mathematics
* rigorous, well-written, nearly self-contained exposition of noncommutative geometry and some of its useful applications to quantum theory
* excellent exposition of introductory material; main topics covered repeatedly in the text at gradually more demanding levels of difficulty
* many applications to diverse fields: index theory, foliations, number theory, particle physics, and fundamental quantum theory
* rich in proofs, examples and exercises
* comprehensive bibliography and index
This text is an introduction to the language and techniques of noncommutative geometry at a level suitable for graduate students, and also provides sufficient detail to be useful to physicists and mathematicians wishing to enter this rapidly growing field. It may also serve as a reference text on several topics that are relevant to noncommutative geometry.
